Greetings intelligent folks

Hey all,

I was thinking about how I missed the old internet days of niche forums and small online communities (and not just reddit), so did a bit of googling and here I am. :man_mage:

Been producing on Ableton for a couple of years now and playing instruments most my life. Just starting to get to the point where I want to start putting myself out there a bit more and maybe meet people to collaborate with down the road. I’m making a bit of everything from ambienty texturey stuff to the more experimental/hectic and whatever in between.

Also, I’m a massive autechre head and i’ve got tickets to see them for the first time here in Bristol (UK) in November, who’s coming?

Welcome!

Great that googling worked for us :slight_smile: I am looking into how we can improve the SEO, but it’s a bit of a big task. Though I do have the help of my not too trusty friend ā€œChadGPTā€.

Anyhow, have a look around and offer feedback on others music and you’ll receive the same in return.

Also check out our label releases in the Glitchpulse Releases section.

I have seen Autechre live (in the dark) twice now in Sydney. Not a huge fan of their generative shows these days, but it’s still worth going to check out.

Enjoy!

Yo, welcome to the music hole
We’re all freindly. Tbh it seems like we’ve had a lot of new members recently, maybe that’s just me. I can’t say I’m a veteran here, but it feels like there’s a lot of new posts.

Heck, I just prefer forums over other social media. The people aren’t as stupid. :slight_smile:

Well, I’m sure you’ll fit in. A lot of different styles thrown around here. Mostly IDM or similar, atm, but there’s a few people floating around that make harder music. (Like me!)

Anyway, have fun!

I’m gonna have to fess up now and say that it was actually your good mate Chad Jeepers who pointed me here. Using proverbial ā€˜googling’ (and a touch of AI shame). As far as I can tell, improving SEO these days just involves sending a nice cheque to Silicon Valley.

I will do, looking forward to hearing what people here are making and eventually sharing some stuff.

Why do you think you’re not feeling the new live stuff? For me, it’s hit or miss whether I really rate their live sets and usually there’s ups and downs, but I find it always at least an interesting experience.

there’s a reason they call it IDM. :joy: i know a lot of people like to distance themselves from the ā€˜intelligent’ part but it’s funny that it stuck and now it’s what we got. should’ve called it nerdcore

Funny enough, nerdcore is actually a thing - and a completely different sound.
Nerdtronic? Electronerd? :thinking: Something to think about.

In some cases I think it’s just people not understanding their genres properly… I’m preeeeety autistic about music, so I don’t mix with people like that :smiley:

I’m just old and prefer their 90’s stuff for nostalgia reasons. That said, i think it’s important for an artist to evolve and grow, but I feel as though the generative stuff doesn’t have the ā€œheartā€. For example, I noticed Warp has an album on Bandcamp with all their recent live shows uploaded. I clicked on the Sydney one thinking, ah yeah I was there I’ll give that a listen. Didn’t connect or recognise any of it so I left it alone.

I should’ve known it would already be a thing. I don’t like to get too in the weeds with the genres though, I think we should just let them all play together

I agree with you on that, feels like they definitely put more of their heart into their earlier music. Now it’s more pure experimentation and seeing what they coax the computer into doing, but I do also appreciate that in a different way. It’s not something I’ll just stick on whenever and listen to but i do think there is some value in just exploring the depths of what is possible with sound just for the sake of it

I’m always happy to see a new face around! Welcome!
